Haha, as if the teachers or the parents of the little beast would take any responsibility. They maybe do that in America but not in Europe. Forget it.
I'm not saying that everyone in America has the courage or the intelligence to find the right way to deal with these things. I am saying that this is what I have done. I have had sit downs with parents, the bus drivers, the school administrators, teachers. It can be very stressful, time consuming and extremely frustrating. The usual outcome seems unproductive at first sometimes, but those with any character no longer make the mistake of NOT taking me seriously after a visit, though.
It is often simply a matter of expressing expectations to find a mutually acceptable solution. The notion that there can be a long term solution is asinine, though. It's like a small sailboat in rough winds, in need of constant course correction.
You laugh at my tack in one breath, not long after complaining about what a directionless Nanny State has been created all around you. You have just shown a large part of the problem in one sentence - NO one takes responsibility for their own welfare.
"It is the State's job to protect us," are the words of an extreme leftist and certainly NOT the words of the Brave.
